🔔 Rate Alert: United Trust Bank heads to the top

Author: Anna Bowes
30th November 2017

Over the last month savers' attention has fallen largely upon the variable rate market, following the Bank of England base rate increase.

 

 

 

Today however, we turn our gaze towards the fixed rate market. 

 

 

 

The headline of the day comes from United Trust Bank, launching a new version of its Cash ISA 5 Year Bond paying 2.20% tax free/AER, topping our fixed rate cash ISA table.

 

 

 

Although leading the way, this account can only be opened with transfers in of previously accrued cash ISA funds, no new non-ISA money can be deposited.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, we have seen an improved fixed rate bond hit the market - PCF Bank has launched a new version of its 1 year bond.

 

 

 

This account now holds a place in our top 5, paying 1.78% gross/AER and unlike many of the top rates, you are not limited to online applications only, you can also apply via the post.

 

 

If you would like any help with your savings, call us today on 0800 011 9705. We'd love to hear from you.
